Thank you! I do use a speed reducer now on my old clutch motor. I slowed it considerably but I don't get the control I'd like with the clutch. I also, sometimes, subscribe to bigger is better.

I'm looking for a few opinions on adding a servo to my Singer 211g. I've pretty much decided on the Consew setup on Amazon. The reviews are much better than the generic Chinese motors. Plus I like the lever being separate from the controller. My question is 1hp or 3/4hp. Is there a big difference when sewing leather? Maybe up to 7/8 oz total. I will mostly be sewing lighter weights of leather and upholstery

Thanks lobo and chiefjason! Certainly some things to think about. Didn't really think about the tax angle. I'm not yet really at the volume to require to much but I certainly would rather break a dummy than a real one. For the cost it's definitely one less headache.

Thank you Dwight. Do you have any problems with them breaking or wearing any detail off? I read an article on kydex holsters and someone mentioned those as cons with blue guns. I know it's a different molding process, just curious if you've experienced anything like that.

I would think a 6-7 oz with a liner would work. I'm getting started in making slings myself. The prototype I made was, I think, 4-5 oz and far to light to use reliably.

I have been fortunate enough to use the actual weapon when making a holster. Now I may have to consider "dummy" guns. It seems that blue guns, red guns or multi molds are the top ones. Which do you prefer/use and why? Thanks in advance!!
